A very rare version of the Cartes Royales, published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Belgium in 1830. Hemeleers van Hoeter, who died in the same year as these cards were issued, was apparently the last card maker to use hand-presses. Van Hoeter appears to have copied his aces from the well-known Nederlandsche Speelkaarten design: several Belgian makers produced this pattern, but apparently these aces conform most closely to those in the pack below, attributed to van Genechten.Second item: Autenboer & Cremers 134; Berry, Playing Cards of the World [162]; Cartorama 53 #30; Willshire, Dutch 112 (British Museum 1872,1012.1348-1399). According to a note by Dudley Ollis, John Berry said this pack is identical with that held in the Guildhall collection (see above) which he identified, using van Genechten sample books, as being made by van Genechten (as also the deck held by the British Museum). Versions of this pack were made by various makers, including several from Turnhout.

The caption reads: an early Hunt pack with Blanchard courts, presumably old stock from the original maker (from the Victoria & Albert Museum). The same website, on its page Blanchard, Gibson, Hunt & Bancks Brothers, illustrates an identical deck to ours, described as: 1952: Hunt with Blanchard courts, AS A3 (18). These cards are longer than usual at this time, more like the earlier Blanchard size. c.1790. It looks as though Blanchard’s blocks were given to Hunt after his apprenticeship to Gibson. Therefore our pack is either according to the former theory (circa 1790 Hunt AS with original circa 1760 Blanchard court cards) or the latter (Hunt deck printed circa 1790 from Blanchard blocks). See also WCMPC Collection Acquisition No. 426 (Berry, 1995 [425]) for a similar deck by Christopher Blanchard.
